Does Nik Zherdev have what the Flyers need?
There hasn’t really been much talk about Nik Zherdev since it was announced he signed a 1 year, $2 Million deal a month ago, so I figured with the lack of news in Flyerdom lately, I would weigh in on Zherdev a bit more and offer some opinions.
Most of the articles you have probably read online about Zherdev aren’t exactly positive ones. He’s been called lazy, sloppy at times, and even a “head case”. He’s also been criticized for… Finish Reading
Filed Under Flyers • 2 CommentsHalladay gains 15th win.
Halladay threw another strong game today pitching 8 innings, striking out 7, allowing 4 hits and no runs. Madsen mopped up the ninth and maintained the shutout, but with a 4-0 lead, did not earn a save.
Maybe he should have. As easily as the Phillies at times seem to score runs in bunches, they are equally prone to have their pitching staff do likewise. The starting pitchers have actually shone for the most part of late, with Hamels getting… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentNon-call cost Union victory
CHESTER, PA – Even after battling back from a deficit it was hard for the Philadelphia Union to leave PPL Park in anyway satisfied.
The Union saw two goals called back due to offside calls and controversial non-call when Sebastien Le Toux appeared to be taken down in the box in stoppage time and had to settle for a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids Saturday afternoon. The tie was Philadelphia’s second straight, but it also extended its winless streak… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentAnother ninth inning comeback miracle
The Phillies beat the Dodgers tonight by a final score of 10-9.
That tells very little of the whole story.
The whole story is that the Phillies rallied from 8 runs down in the 8th inning, and managed to score 4 runs in the ninth while only collecting 1 hit. Here is how it played out. Polanco was hit by a pitch, then Sweeney walked to put runners on 1st and 2nd. Werth became the second walk of the inning… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentGood Day Oswalt Bad Night K-ROD
Thank you Roy Oswalt for coming to Philly. After seeing his first two starts in a Phillies uniform, Roy Oswalt delivers on what fans expected tonight. While sporting the most losses in the National League, and having the least run support of any pitcher in baseball, Roy Oswalt pitched a gem tonight. With a stat line as follows 7 innings pitched, 5 hits, 0 runs, 2 walked and 5 k’s Oswalt pitched out of a couple of jams but all… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentCatching up with Darren Daulton
Earlier this week I got the opportunity to see former Phillies catcher Darren Daulton while attending a baseball tournament down in Bridgeton, New Jersey. As a guest of the Bridgeton Invitation Daulton signed autographs for fans and took the time to speak about various topics includig the current Phillies, the 1993 Phillies and his life after baseball. I had an opportunity to listen to Daulton and put together this report, which can also be read here on nj.com.
BRIDGETON — The… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • 1 CommentAre the Eagles suddenly booring?
Many Eagles fans have been excited about the ongoing training camp do to the fact that the team that will take the field on Sundays starting in September will be vastly different than the ones that have proceeded it for the better part of a decade. We don’t know if it will be better, but right now the word “different” also stands for “hope.”
Then there are those who are not so excited about training camp. Without McNabb shooting off… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentThe Werth Dilemma
I’ll say right up front that when Victorino went down with his injury, I groaned. Not just because Shane was hurt, but because, as I immediately texted my kid, “Werth isn’t going anywhere.”
In some ways, Werth is the poster child for this confusing Phillies offense — on paper his stats looks pretty good, but he’s “werthless” when it counts. And Charlie doesn’t have a clue what to do with him.
I’m going to ignore Werth’s pretty stats — the… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentPhillies win and pick up Sweeny.
The Phillies beat the Florida Marlins for their third straight game 7-2.
Rookie Domonic Brown has been excellent in his first week of work. The Phillies are 5-2 since calling him up and he is played in 6 of those games. He drove in 3 more runs in last night’s victory and is now batting .273 with 5 singles, a double, and a total of 6 RBI.
Ibanez extended his hitting streak to 12 as he drove in 2.
It all… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentVick Officially Cleared ?
Today it was reported that Eagles owner Jeff Lurie cleared Michael Vick, stating that he made an error in judgement being there in an effort to appease certain members of his family and people from his old neighborhood-meaning, his dogfighting ring cronys-but that he was not DIRECTLY involved with any wrongdoing personally in regards to the shooting.
Huh ?
I responded to this interview much in the same way I responded to the Eagles acquisition of the historically troubled quarterback… Finish Reading
Filed Under Eagles • 2 Comments9th Inning Woes
It seems like a new sport has popped up in Philadelphia: Lidge bashing. He’s the closer, so that must mean all of the bullpen problems, particularly in the 9th inning, are his fault.
It makes me wonder if people actually watch all the games, or are just intent on playing Lidge Bashing. For example, let’s take last night’s game. Chad Durbin pitches a beautiful 8th inning. But in the 9th, he started to have a little bit of trouble. He… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • 1 CommentHoward to have MRI
Through all of the injuries the Phillies have endured this season the one constant in the lineup has been Ryan Howard. That figures to change for at least a few days as Howard recovers from an injured left ankle. The good news is that Howard does not think he will need to go on the DL even though he is currently on crutches.
David Murphy of philly.com is reporting that Howard will have an MRI today.
“I’m not… Finish Reading
Filed Under Phillies • Leave a CommentFull Training Camp now underway
The veterans are all in. Eagles Training Camp has officially begun.
As the Birds usher in a new era with the likes of Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and Sheldon Brown no longer on the roster, this camp has a feel unlike any other in the last decade. For the first time there is a bit of uncertainty as to what to expect from this team. Will the youth movement result in the Eagles taking a step forward or back? Is… Finish Reading
Filed Under Eagles • Leave a CommentOswalt to Philly a done deal
The Roy-to-Roy combo is about to get underway. Various media outlets are reporting that the Phillies and Astros have completed a deal that will send Roy Oswalt to the Phillies in exchange for J.A. Happ and two prospects.
Bellow is an ESPN.com report:
Roy Oswalt has officially accepted his proposed trade to the Philadelphia Phillies, the right-hander told KRIV-TV in Houston.
A baseball source said after considering his options and speaking with friends familiar with the Phillies’ situation, the… Finish Reading
